Non-Monotonic Parsing of Fluent Umm I mean Disfluent Sentences
Mohammad Sadegh Rasooli, Joel Tetreault · 2014
Parsing disfluent sentences is a challeng-ing task which involves detecting disflu-encies as well as identifying the syntactic structure of the sentence. While there have been several studies recently into solely detecting disfluencies at a high perfor-mance level, there has been relatively lit-tle work into joint parsing and disfluency detection that has reached that state-of-the-art performance in disfluency detec-tion. We improve upon recent work in this joint task through the use of novel features and learning cascades to produce a model which performs at 82.6 F-score. It outper-forms the previous best in disfluency de-tection on two different evaluations. 1
